First Patron Saint’s Day Celebration

Numerous laymen gathered in the courtyard of the Todor Kableshkov University of Transport on the occasion of the All Bulgarian Saints Orthodox Church first patron’s saint day celebration to take part in vesper service led by church board chairman archpriest Georgi. Father Georgi shared the following thoughts at the end of the evening service: “Brothers and sisters, I am thankful to all of you for having participated in the celebration of our new church first patron saint’s day. I am glad that, although the church is not a large one, it has gathered this multitude of believers who have come to honour the saints, having served the Lord on Bulgarian lands since antiquity. These are thousands of canonized by the holy Church saints and certainly hundreds of thousands of holy people known only to God. May the Lord show mercy to us and save us upon their prayers! Amen!”
